Angel: if you plant shallots you'll get shallots, and that'shallot! (that's your lot!) Ha ha.. oh come on, it wasn't that bad!
Onions grown best in rows with four rows onions and a row of carrots in between. Lotsa good mulch down if there are very dry periods although on the whole they don't want to be overwet as they tend to rot and get black smutty fungus on them.
Onions like a bit of potash.
